Making Your Way is for resettlement agency trainers who provide Cultural Orientation domestically. Each of the eleven content chapters starts with a short lesson called The Basics that addresses particularly pressing information for that topic. The chapters contain two to six additional lesson plans, along with supplemental images, posters, and handouts. While the complete curriculum is 761 pages, we offer The Complete Basics, individual chapters, and supplemental materials as separate downloads.
This unit focuses on the following key points:
- The local resettlement agency ensures that refugees are provided with assistance and basic services after they first arrive in the United States.
- The resettlement agency is the new arrival’s first point of contact for accessing services and getting information on topics that refugees need to know.
- For resettlement to succeed, refugees need to work together with resettlement agency staff.
